Other and unspecified water transport accidents
Chapter 20:External causes of morbidity
ICD-10 V94 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of other and unspecified water transport accidents.
The ICD-10 code category V94 encompasses other and unspecified water transport accidents, which include a range of incidents that occur on watercraft, such as boats, ships, and other vessels. This category is crucial for capturing injuries and accidents that do not fall under more specific codes related to water transport incidents. Conditions covered may include drowning, capsizing, collisions, and other accidents that result in injury or death while on water. The clinical significance of this category lies in its ability to provide healthcare providers and researchers with data on the prevalence and nature of water transport accidents, which can inform preventive measures and public health policies.

V94 covers a variety of conditions related to water transport accidents, including but not limited to drowning, injuries from capsizing, collisions with other vessels, and accidents involving watercraft that do not fit into more specific categories.
V94 codes should be used when documenting injuries or incidents that occur on watercraft and do not have a more specific ICD-10 code. It is important to ensure that the circumstances of the accident are clearly documented to support the use of this code.
Documentation for V94 should include details of the incident, such as the type of watercraft involved, the nature of the accident, and any injuries sustained. Clear and thorough records will support the accuracy of coding and facilitate appropriate reimbursement.
